Product Information

There’s also a black chalkboard tag so that you can personalise each for your guests with chalk or use the gold sticky letters that come in the box. The design of the crackers could be a bit more festive; thank goodness for the shiny silver snowflakes to bring these into the season, but we can’t argue with the fact that they are plastic-free and recyclable – just be sure to reuse the ribbon bows. The calm traveller from the high-end CBD brand is a wonderful treat that offers a chance to find a sanctuary of calm to reset.

Find a cocktail stirrer, ruler, card holder, pen, bottle opener, keyring, measuring cup and whistle inside. The gifts inside should please too: crayons, an eraser, wooden bracelet, wooden spinner, badge, cookie cutter, a large wooden dice and a bouncy ball. The best luxury crackers have to be the ones that will bring the whole family joy this Christmas, and we think we’ve found them in these handmade Harvey Nichols go crackers. Besides these two pairings, there are many others, such as vodka, whisky and a whole array of gins, to enjoy – just not all at once. Along with your hat and joke, each cracker contains a selection of green gifts – an award-winning scented tealight, a 'tiddler' ball of twine, a mini soap bar, some wildflower seedballs, a plastic-free coffee bag and a packet of pea shoot seeds.From the snap to the gift, paper crown and, of course, the jokes, everyone from grandpa to our youngest relations gets a kick out of crackers at Christmas. On the reverse of the tag is a QR code that takes you to a joke and a challenge that will have everyone around the table in fits. Recycling your Christmas crackers is great but reusing them year after year is even better, and these are the crème de la crème of reusable crackers and your new festive family heirloom.

Among the prettiest on our list, these Christmas crackers are courtesy of London-based floral designer Hazel Garinder. Christmas crackers have come on leaps and bounds since the days of bad jokes, rubbish hats that never seem to fit, and cheap, single-use plastic gadgets you'll never use and which are just harmful for the environment. And, these mini Christmas crackers will do just the trick as a post-dinner treat or can be placed on the Christmas tree. Every year we pick up a few of Sipsmith's crackers to incorporate into our Christmas tablescape and delight our gin-loving guests.

Gifts include a wooden honey drizzler, nutmeg grater, mini strawberry jam, luxury tea, wildflower seeds, wooden plant labels, metal slinky, garden twine or a wooden yoyo. Each cracker has been opened with a fellow tester, the contents assessed for quality and usability, the jokes tested for belly laughs and how friendly the components are to the planet. A few big-name beauty brands have started early too, with drops from L'Occitane en Provence and silk specialists Slip.
